jerryb Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Great info!! Now I need to confirm which 280 set I just made and then get a set of the third version. Excellent.......Thank you! More info...The fuel tank and strap changed with the introduction of the '74 1/2 model. This is when the fuel tank capacity increased to 17.2 US gals from 15.8 US gals. So with what Nigel has said, that makes 3 different sets of straps for the S30. Just trying to help you draw a line for the different usage. I can look it up in the microfiche for you if it will help others when ordering. Edit: The Gas Tank Strap part numbers 17410-N4500 (RS) & 17405-N3400 (LS) are shown as being used from 09/74 - 07/76. That pinpoints the use of all 3 different sets. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 These J-bolts are available for $14.00 a set at amhightechauto.com. if the Nissan ones aren't available or too expensive. The Mopar ones I have do not have the proper bend and they have a stove bolt square shoulder also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtburf Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I need a set for a 1975 280Z, can you advise the current mfg'ing status and total with shipping to 77070. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am waiting on feedback regarding fit on a 07/76 to end of 78 Zs. I have yet to obtain the middle series for testing. If someone can measure them for me (and provide a pic) I can have them made no problem. I need a set for a 1975 280Z, can you advise the current mfg'ing status and total with shipping to 77070.

jtburf Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Tank strap update: Well who among us does not love getting packages related to our restore projects? Yesterday the postmaster left me the most impressive package yet, you guessed it... My Stainless Tanks straps... All I can say is WOW excellent craftsmanship, and solid welds will insure the tank stays where it is supposed to be!!! Please bear with me as I plan to soak the tank in caustic soda this week and the repaint it before I return it to the underside but I had to post some early pictures... Jerry I will test fit before hand so you know about the sizes and can continue production. Again I’m very impressed with the straps!!! But after looking at Jerrys car I guess I should not be shocked!
